7.5g no heater stocking

[Yourlocalfishkeeper]

I’m getting my sisters room since she just moved to college, and i found a 12x12 space perfect for a tiny aquarium, however, there is no outlets nearby. I’m planning on setting up a 5-10g betta aquarium about 5 feet away, so i’m planning on buying a powerful air pump with adjustable air flow. I could set up an air line that runs to the 12x12 aquarium, and i’ll set up a sponge filter. however, i can not set up any power strips or anything to be able to use a heater in the 7.5.

So, any stocking ideas for a 7.5g (12x12x12in.) that don’t require a heater? my house is heated but not air conditioned. so temps get around 75-85 in the summer and 45-60 in the winter.

They need heat. At least 78 up to about 82 or they won’t be happy.

I have them in an unheated tank in summer but turn on the heater in winter.

Run an extension cord from where you plug in the air pump. You could have snails and shrimp otherwise.

The betta tank will have heat, it’s near an outlet. Don’t worry, i wouldn’t keep them in a tank wo heat. (I assume that’s what you were talking about)

I can’t run an extension cord. the way my electricity is set up, adding too many cords will cause my whole room to trip, endangering my other tanks. unless there’s a battery powered heater that i don’t know about, the tank most likely won’t have a heater. I’d be fine with a shrimp/snail tank if that’s all i can have.
